Of the three artiste that just debuted as solo artiste under Rays entertainment, Toby is still the most popular. He is famous among teenagers and he had so many fans.
Naturally, the rival companies seeing how fast he is gaining popularity decided to dig out dirt about him.
Toby woke up to the ringing of his phone.
"This better be something important", he said as he picked up his phone.
" Toby. Do not come out of your room today. You are all over the news", Manager Brown voice came from the phone.
"Why?", Toby asked.
" A scandal ", is all Manager brown said.
" Just stay in.", the manager added.
"But I will be hungry.", Toby exclaimed.
" Didn't you have anything in your fridge? ", the manager asked.
" I didn't "
"We will see if we will be able to sneak in food for you. Just stay in", Manager brown said.
Toby was about to say something when the phone beeped. His manager actually hung up on him. He is starving.
He decided to see what is going on online.
His face sank when he saw the headlines.
Douglas opened the door. He saw a man in suit standing there.
" Good morning ", the man greeted politely.
" Good morning ", Douglas greeted bowing slightly.
" How may I help you", he asked the stranger.
"I guess you're Miss Dorris brother?", the man asked.
" Yes, I am. Is there any problem?", he asked the man.
"Partner, who is there?", Louis asked from within wondering what is taking him so long in answering the door.
" I actually want to see your father", The man in suit said.
Louis sat down after serving the visitor a glass of juice.
"So you are?", Louis asked.
" I'm Mr Dalton secretary. I mean Ray Dalton father", the man said.
Louis muttered an 'oh'
"So why the sudden visit?", he asked.
" Obviously, Mr Dalton sent me.", the secretary said sipping the juice stylishly. He is obviously enjoying acting big boss.
Douglas was getting curious.
"Can you just go straight to the point?", he asked.
He had a feeling that this man is up to no good.
The man smiled.
" As expected of youngsters. I am also very busy and the last thing I want is to waste my name here at this stuffy home", the secretary said.
Douglas is getting offended.
Louis smiled.
"We didn't invite you to our stuffy home. You are only here because you're sent by your boss. It seems you don't know. A messenger will always be a messenger.", Dorris father said.
" Then I will be straight forward", the secretary said.
"We would like that", Louis said.
" You have three days to warn off your daughter. She must stop seeing Ray Dalton. You are actually glad that your daughter married a big shot? You think that in as much as she tied Ray down in marriage, nothing will separate them again? It seems you've forgotten that there is a word called divorce. Tell your daughter to divorce my son within three days or you will not like the consequences",
The secretary smiled.
"That's what I was asked to say", he said.
Louis and Douglas were confused. Marriage? What is this man saying? Dorris is already married.
" Why don't you ask your son to divorce her then? Could it be that you can not even control your own son. Who do you think you're to order me around. What will you do if I refused to be order around? Three days? What a joke!", Louis said. Even though he isn't aware of what is going on, he decided to support his daughter. He is not going to be a push over.
"Tell that to the one who sent you to me", he added.
The secretary scoffed.
" I understand", he said and bring out a brief case.
Douglas scoffed. Why is this so familiar? It looks like a scene from a soap opera. He can bet that there is money inside that briefcase.
The man proved him right when he opened the briefcase filled with money.
Louis sigh.
"What an embarrassment! How can they send a small secretary over to embarrass me. Tell them to come to me personally if they dare!", Louis told the secretary.
" Out of my house now!", he added angrily.
"Are you sure you will not regret this?", The secretary asked after closing the briefcase.
" Just get out. I feel like puking seeing your ugly face!", Louis said again.
Douglas was surprised. Their father rarely loose his temper.
The secretary snorted.
"You sure have a lot of pride. But you've forgotten that we are proletariat and we are slaves to this bourgeois.", he said
" Even slaves have standards. I guess you're of the lowest class. You are practically a dogs to them now. You're no more a slave. After all, dogs still eat the slaves remnant", Louis said.
The secretary admitted that this man is surely good at picking his words.
Toby scroll through the pictures online, the headlines and comments and his head spurned. How can this be? How can this scandal be dug out when he is at the peak of his career. This is something he knew will be his Achilles heel one day but didn't know it will be this soon.
Will he be able to make it out of this scandal.
He forgot about food. What is food when his career is at risk?
